- Legenda: Surkhet (Nepal), 24/04/2025.- A group of young Rautes stand together for a group photo in the Girighat forest, Surkhet, Nepal, 19 February 2025 (issued 24 April 2025). Nepal’s last nomadic tribe, the Rautes, are facing a sharp population decline, with numbers dropping from 566 in 2021 to just 137, according to the Social Service Centre (SOSEC) Nepal. While younger members advocate for education and change, elders remain determined to preserve their traditional way of life, rejecting permanent settlement, agriculture, and formal schooling.
